Apache NiFi can be used to accelerate big data projects by allowing easy integration between various data sources. Using Apache NiFi it is easy to track what happened to your data (data provenance) and to provide features like guaranteed ordered delivery and error handling. In this example I'm going to configure NiFi to read COVID data from a REST API, split the data into individual records per country and publish the result to a Kafka topic. I've used the environment described here.
